IM looking for a lightweight grill/push bar guard because i already have a 100lb winch setup in the front and i dont wanna weigh the IFS down much more, but I love the way a grill guard looks. I dont want a bull bar bar I personally dont like them. Just wondering if anyone knew of something that is fairly lightweight but will still look good and protect from brush on the trails and maybe mount a few lights.

 

I have a black one for an 04 I want 200 for it

 

Have you looked at Ranch Hand Stuff...its solid.

Their push bar weighs 80-90lbs. and can handle off road lights. Not sure about the winch, you may have to call them.



They also have a grille, but its a bit heavier, I think around 130lbs.(not much more than another passenger) but really works for brush guard like you are looking for and I know for certain they make a winch mount for it.

 

I dont know how or where that push bar mounts but the grille guard I have by Ranch Hand is plenty strong. I've gotten stuck twice and I got yanked out of both. One was a full sized F250 yanking me up a hill and the other was a little 1/4 ton chevy that could barely yank me out of the river...so yeah, if the guard bolts to the frame in 4 places like mine it can easily handle a winch.

 

plus i think (not sure) that the bar at the bottom of the ranchhands is a solid bar, instead of hollow

 

The bottom bar on the guards like mine are hollow but they are still pretty strong.

 

yeah if a superduty can pull an f150 thats high centered out of the mud i'd say its pretty damn strong

 

No actually my truck was at the bottom of a 10 deep ditch and I got yanked UP it by an F250. Standard tranny and he didn't feel like slipping the clutch. The side was so steep I almost busted A. a few times trying to figure out how to get out. Then I got yanked out by a buddies little colorado when my rear end was stuck in a riverbed to the axle. I felt bad because his bumper got bent like tin foil...but it was a chevy so there wasn't really anything lost.

I'm not even going to talk about the stuff I've pushed and scraped with it because I just get out my can of glossy black krylon and do a touch up...like all those celebrities who just add another layer.
